-Chapter Seven-
.: Meeting Someone New With Loads Of Enthusiasm! :.
After a night of Tyson stranded in the coat closet, the three remaining BladeBreakers, Kenny, Max, and Rei, complained and whined to Kai about 2 AM in the morning. Kai, being drowsy and wanted more sleep before the noisy triplet had interfere with his 'beauty sleep', tossed the keys out the door. The three boys dove for the keys, unaware that Kai had slammed his bedroom door shut, putting up a door sign that said, 'DISTURB ME AND DIE!'
Successfully unlocking the coat closet door, Max had not expected to be confronted by a tight gripping bear-hug, which overwhelmed him, making him and Tyson knock down to the finely wax wooden floor.
"I'M FFFFFFFFRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!" Tyson exclaimed like he had seen broad daylight for the first time in his life. "THANK YOU, MAXIE!! I KNEW YOU'D COME FOR ME!!" All the while, the boy was unaware of the blonde boy's suffocation, facing turning deathly blue . . . .
"I" -gasp- "can't breath!" -gasp- "Tyson!" Max wheezed, struggling to get the large weight off his body.
"Huh? OH!" Tyson leaped up, already realizing that Max had turned two shades of purple. "I'm sorry, Max! Didn't noticed I was killing you there, buddy!"
Rei helped the poor blonde up in a sitting position, shaking his head with a grin.
"You nearly suffocated Max, Tyson!" Kenny exclaimed.
"It's not like he DIED, Kenny!" Tyson weakly defended himself.
GGGGGRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWLLLLLLLL
"What . . . was that?" Rei asked, blinking.
"Don't tell me that's your stomach, Tyson!" Kenny exclaimed with exasperation.
"I'm hungry!" Tyson stated.
Max finally managed to breath correctly again and, with the help of the Chinese boy, he managed to get up. "Well, that's Tyson for you; always thinking with his stomach."
"Hehe" Tyson nervously laughed, "are we going out to eat breakfast?"
"Tyson, its 2 AM in the morning" Rei said. "Kai's still asleep."
"No one in their right mind would eat THIS early" Kenny quietly said.
"What are we to do now then?" Max asked, looking at his comrades.
"Get some sleep?" Rei suggested, stretching. "I'm still" -yawn- "tired."
"Yeah, I agree we should do just that" Kenny agreed.
"Yeah, same here!" Max bobbed his up and down. "Tyson?"
Three heads loomed over to the couch in the next room. There, laid a 'peaceful' looking Tyson, sleeping away. No, wait. Let me re-write that; there, laid a drooling Tyson, snoring in his sleep while mumbling food occasionally.
"Lasagna, please!" Tyson snored, shifting his body the other way, "Make that two lasagna and 4 slices of pizza on the go!"
The three boys each had a sweat drop of their own, about as large as their head probably . . .
"Guess he'll sleep down here . . . ." Kenny said. "Well, we have at least 5 hours of sleep, so rest up!"
"Can't we sleep in, Chief?" Max asked. "It's not like we have a tournament or anything . . ."
"So what's the deal, Chief?" Rei inquired.
Kenny slightly shook his head with an inaudible sigh. "Well, there is a chance of a city tournament and beside; you guys need to stay in tip top shape!"
The two groaned, trudging up the flight of stairs, following closely by Kenny. The three departed to their respective bedrooms, saying good night or morning or whatever. [~_~;;]
-:|5 HOURS AND 30 MINUTES LATER|:-
"Where in the world is Tyson??" Kenny asked, scanning the large mansion from outside. "I was positive that he had woken up already!"
"Well, it IS typical of him to sleep in" Rei complied, stretching. "He does it all the time so, what do you expect?"
"Expecting him to know when to get up" Kai snorted an answer, climbing in the black limo.
"Oh, look there he is!" Max pointed straight ahead at the mansion's door.
It showed Tyson running out of the door, hopping on one foot to get his other sneaker on, his cap held by his mouth, dark blue hair in complete disarray.
"Wait for me!!!!!!!!" Tyson shouted, after he finally got his sneaker on and but his cap on backward. He skidded to halt, almost tripping himself. "Let's eat! I'm starving!"
"You're ALWAYS starving Tyson!" Kenny exclaimed, climbing into the limo.
"After you, Tyson" Max jestered the late boy to go in before him.
"Thanks, Maxie!" Tyson literally hopped in. Max followed and Rei was the last to shut the door.
-:|CAFÉ|:-
"Tyson, I think you had enough" Rei said, after watching the boy gobble down a plate of eggs and beacon, "after having 3 breakfasts already . . . ."
"I'm not full yet!" Tyson complained, planning to get up and get more.
"Oh, no you aren't!" Max pulled Tyson down in his seat. "If you eat anymore, you'd put the café out of business!"
"So??????" Tyson pouted. "I'm STILL hungry!"
Kai glared at the pouting boy which made him stop protesting. The boy sulked continuously throughout the breakfast, trying to steal some food off his teammates' plates but only got a glare and a 'NO.'
-:|DOWNTOWN|:-
The BladeBreakers wandered around in downtown, obviously having no destination whatsoever. Kenny suggested that they walked around downtown's central area, if their lucky, find some worthy bladers to beybattle. Kai strayed from the group, not wanting to be seen in public with Tyson, so he wandered wherever his feet took him. It led him to a bridge that was over a rushing river. He decided to hang around here a bit; at least it was quiet from Tyson's obnoxious complaining. Max and Rei tried their best to make sure that Tyson didn't go anywhere that had food in them.
-:|DOWNTOWN CENTRAL AREA|:-
"Tyson!" Max exclaimed with total exasperation while he and Rei attempted to pry the boy who was clinging onto a window of a bakery. "You already ate!!"
"But I'm still hungry, Max!" Tyson protested after the two had successfully pried him off the window. The boy managed to slip out of Max's and Rei's grip, slinking behind only to bump into someone.
"Oof!"
". . .!"
Kenny, Max, Rei whipped around, seeing Tyson had collided with a person. The boy was ontop of the bumped person, laying there motionless.
"TYSON!" The three exclaimed in complete unison.
@_@ "Urgh . . ." Tyson had swirls for eyes, holding his head as he tried to stop his eyes from moving in circles. "I have a major headache . . . ." Then it hit him that he had knocked a person over. He quickly got up, turned around and lends a hand to the fallen person. "Sorry, man. I didn't look where I was going!" He grinned nervously but realized that the person did not accept his offer. "Hey, dude, you okay there?"
The fallen person was obviously a boy their age, wearing a long sleeved light blue shirt with an oversized dark blue vest, black cargo pants with black and white sneakers. His black hair shined unusually cobalt blue in the light, spiked with a slender ponytail tied in a navy blue cloth, seemingly ending up to his back. The boy's icy blue eyes appeared to have a distant look, a contrast to his fair skin. He slowly rose to his feet, not accepting Tyson's generosity of offering his hand to him nor did he respond to the question the boy had asked.
"Well, it looks like someone got on the wrong side of the bed this morning" Tyson commented quietly, returning his hand to his side. Rei, Max, and Kenny were pretty wary but remained composed.
Before any of the BladeBreakers had a chance to say anything else, the boy spoke up, "I'm fine." His icy blue eyes glided over to Rei's amber eyes, his eyes remained distant and yet icy. The four nodded their heads in acknowledgement.
Rei felt uneasy with the boy's eyes on him, but he stared right back. "We're the BladeBreakers. I'm Rei."
"Kenny."
"Tyson!"
"Omi." He looked over the said names, eyes with an unreadable expression. "So the prophecy is being fulfilled."
The four boys cocked an eyebrow up.
"What 'prophecy'?" Kenny asked, speaking for the other three boys' confused and questioning mind.
"The fated boy should know" Omi replied in quiet voice. His eyes never left Rei's eyes, still locked on.
Rei knew what Omi was talking about, but he didn't think it would come true after Fei Kon had done it. And beside, he read only about a half of the prophecy since the page was torn off. . . But his guts were telling him that HE'S involved in this strange prophecy one way or the other. Rei didn't know how he got the feeling but he knew. He just knew. It was the same feeling he had when he had first arrived here. But the question still remains; is the prophecy being revived? If so, why? So many questions were arousing Rei's mind. "Uh, c'mon guys. Let's split to the Central Area, it's not far away from here."
The three boys were slightly startled but nodded anyways. Waving Omi a quick farewell, the BladeBreakers left to their destination. Omi lingered there a while longer, already knowing where to go next. He slowly turned around, and made his way through the dense bodies.
"Boy, that Omi kid was sure creepy" Tyson announced as he slightly shuddered.
"Yeah" Rei and Max nodded in agreement.
"But what was he talking about with the 'prophecy' and who's the 'fated boy'?" Kenny inquired.
Tyson turned to look at Rei. "Well, it seemed like you knew something about it Rei."
"Actually, I know the prophecy but I'm not 100% sure on the 'fated boy' part" Rei said.
"Details!" Max chirped.
"We can wait for that" Kenny interrupted. "Right now, train, you guys!"
"Oh, fine" Tyson waved and searched out for an opponent.
Rei and Max followed in pursuit with Kenny following.
"Ah!" A boy's head dodged his flying blade, whirring past him and out of the stadium.
"Hey, look at that!" Tyson pointed out to the same boy.
"Whoa, it looked like someone did some cleaning!" Dizzi chirped once Kenny opened the laptop.
"What's that suppose to mean, Dizzi?" Rei asked, glancing over Kenny's shoulder.
"A bit beast, duh!" Dizzi responded.
"Let's check it out, you guys" Kenny suggested.
"We might find ourselves a worthy blader, after all!" Max grinned and hurried ahead, catching up with Tyson. Kenny and Rei tagged along.
"Oh, that's no fun, no it isn't" A female voice said in displeasure, shaking her head as her dark violet hair swished about.
"Are you the blader?" Tyson asked, once the gang had regrouped.
"What blader?" The girl crooned her head to the side. "You mean when beyblade flew out? Yes, that's Raikou, yes it is!"
"Uh, she talks funny" Max commented.
The girl was their age, 15, having long dark violet hair with the upper part of both sides tied with two gold-yellow balls dangling from a black string, gold-yellow eyes full of life, wearing a black t-shirt with a wolf- tiger surrounded by lightning, dark grey cargo pants, white sneakers, with a dark yellow colored visor worn backward with the letter 'R' in the back and 'Raiju' in the front.
"Name's Raikou!" Raikou beamed with loads of cheerfulness after her dark colored yellow beyblade returned to her hand. "You BladeBreakers?"
"Yup, we sure are!" Tyson grinned with great pride. "I'm Tyson!"
"My name's Kenny."
"Max's the name!"
"Rei, nice to meet you!"
Raikou beamed once more, showing more of her childish side.
It was hard to believe a cheerful girl like her could defeat someone. But something felt strange . . . in a good way. It was somewhat like this girl will help them somehow . . . . . Maybe she could've heard of the prophecy?
"Dizzi said that you posse a bit beast, is it true?" Kenny inquired.
Raikou's beam broadens to a smile. "Yup, yup! Raikou's bit beast is Raiju! Raiju is lightning and thunder, yes he is! Raiju is Raikou's favorite friend, yes, yes! Raiju is telling Raikou that this is fated to meet, yes!"
The BladeBreakers sweatdropped with her child-like talking. It sounded cute though . . .
"Hey, Raikou, you wanna bey-battle?" Tyson challenged.
"No, no, no" Raikou's smile was still on even though she's shaking her head.
"Huh? How come?" Rei asked.
"Raiju said not yet so Raikou listens to Raiju!"
"Raiju's a bit beast. It can't talk . . . can it?" Max blinked, confused.
"Raiju can talk! Only through Raikou, yes! Raiju and Raikou have bonds! And . . . Raikou have no place to stay tonight, no, no." She smiled, chuckling as well.
"Hey, she can stay at our place, right Kenny?" Tyson looked at Chief.
"I don't know . . . . It's Kai's place where we're staying at . . . ."
"Aw, it's okay! We'll tell him. He has to say yes!" Max grinned wickedly. "Okay, Chief?"
"Oh, fine" Kenny reluctantly gave in.
"Raikou so happy! Raiju is too!" Raikou was jumping up and down, gleefully.
"Well, that's decided, let's search for Kai!" Rei suggested.
The four nodded their heads and left the Central Area.
'Well, that blew the training program off . . . .' Kenny sighed and shook his head.
-:|BRIDGE|:-
The blue headed boy was leaning against the stone railing, immersed deep in his thoughts, or so it looked like. Kai was aware of another presence lurking around the bridge. The figure was emitting cold pessimistic vibes. The presence was none other than Omi himself. Kai merely glanced Omi over, judging if he was a blader or not. Didn't seem so to him but appearance can be deceiving.
"What do you want?" Kai held his position, leaning on the stone bridge.
Omi took a silent step forward, both feet on the bridge as his response to Kai. The boy dared take enough steps to stand behind Kai, standing there silently. Kai instinctively whipped around, seizing his launcher with his Dranzer already in place. The red rip cord and the tip of the blue launcher were brushing against Omi's nose. To Kai's amazement, the kid didn't even flinch let alone bat an eyelash. Omi just stood there, letting the after winds breezed through his black hair.
"You could've launched the thing," Omi said, sounding rather a bit disappointed.
Kai merely narrowed his eyes, still gripping his rip cord and the handle of the launcher. "You're that desperate to end your life?"
Omi stepped past Kai, leaning dangerously over the stone railing, running his fingers across the water, making many ripples. He returned to his previous position, staring off into the distance. Kai, figuring the boy's movement was a 'yes' in a response, was annoyed with his silent movement, as he lowered his launcher and loosening his grip on his cord and handle.
"Answer me, what do you want, kid?" Kai's patience was obviously thinning out. [MK: Wait, wasn't it thinned out long ago when he first met Tyson and his obnoxious personality?]
Omi then leaned on the railing, propping his right elbow on it, resting his cheek on it as he watched Kai glaring at him. "Only to see that the Guardian of Fire is in position with fate of both worlds." He shifted his icy blue eyes back into the distance. "However, it seems that the Guardian of Fire is straying from its duty."
"What the heck are you babbling about?" Kai snapped, stuffing his Dranzer and launcher away. He glared one last time before stalking off the bridge.
His figure disappearing from the distance, the remaining boy regains his composure, watching the speck of Kai's body fade away. Omi's icy blue eyes showed hints of slight joy that rarely surfaced even at times of happiness.
"It has only begun, Guardian of Fire."
-:|KAI'S MANSION|:-
"WHAT?!"
"Hey, calm down" Tyson tried to calm the raging Russian boy down. "It's only one more, Kai!"
"THAT MEANS ANOTHER MOUTH TO FEED!"
"Raikou doesn't eat much! Kai no have to worry! Wait, Raikou can eat own food with Raikou's on money!" Raikou suggested. "Raikou only need place to stay until Raikou finds someone!"
"She does draw a good point there, Kai" Rei agreed.
Kai glared at his teammate plus the girl. He grumbled he stalked off to his room.
"I'll take that as a 'yes'!" Tyson called after.
"WHATEVER, SHE'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!"
"Not a problem!" Max grinned.
Kenny turned to face the comfortable Raikou on couch, flicking through channels while holding her beyblade. "And how are you gonna earn your money, Raikou?"
"Raikou found job at food store! They give discount to employers!" Raikou beamed. "Raiju says it's a decent job so Raikou accept!"
"Do you ALWAYS listen to your bit beast??" Tyson asked, plopping down next her.
"Raikou thinks so. Raiju always knows what's best for Raikou, yes, yes! Raiju is very wise and never steered Raikou wrong!"
*!*!*!*!*

"Name's Raikou!" Raikou beamed with loads of cheerfulness after her dark colored yellow beyblade returned to her hand. "You BladeBreakers?"
"Yup, we sure are!" Tyson grinned with great pride. "I'm Tyson!"
"My name's Kenny."

The BladeBreakers sweatdropped with her child-like talking. It sounded cute though . . .
"Hey, Raikou, you wanna bey-battle?" Tyson challenged.
"No, no, no" Raikou's smile was still on even though she's shaking her head.
"Huh? How come?" Rei asked.
"Raiju said not yet so Raikou listens to Raiju!"
"Raiju's a bit beast. It can't talk . . . can it?" Max blinked, confused.
"Raiju can talk! Only through Raikou, yes! Raiju and Raikou have bonds! And . . . Raikou have no place to stay tonight, no, no." She smiled, chuckling as well.
"Hey, she can stay at our place, right Kenny?" Tyson looked at Chief.
"I don't know . . . . It's Kai's place where we're staying at . . . ."
"Aw, it's okay! We'll tell him. He has to say yes!" Max grinned wickedly. "Okay, Chief?"
"Oh, fine" Kenny reluctantly gave in.
"Raikou so happy! Raiju is too!" Raikou was jumping up and down, gleefully.
"Well, that's decided, let's search for Kai!" Rei suggested.
The four nodded their heads and left the Central Area.
'Well, that blew the training program off . . . .' Kenny sighed and shook his head.
-:|BRIDGE|:-
The blue headed boy was leaning against the stone railing, immersed deep in his thoughts, or so it looked like. Kai was aware of another presence lurking around the bridge. The figure was emitting cold pessimistic vibes. The presence was none other than Omi himself. Kai merely glanced Omi over, judging if he was a blader or not. Didn't seem so to him but appearance can be deceiving.
"What do you want?" Kai held his position, leaning on the stone bridge.
Omi took a silent step forward, both feet on the bridge as his response to Kai. The boy dared take enough steps to stand behind Kai, standing there silently. Kai instinctively whipped around, seizing his launcher with his Dranzer already in place. The red rip cord and the tip of the blue launcher were brushing against Omi's nose. To Kai's amazement, the kid didn't even flinch let alone bat an eyelash. Omi just stood there, letting the after winds breezed through his black hair.
"You could've launched the thing," Omi said, sounding rather a bit disappointed.
Kai merely narrowed his eyes, still gripping his rip cord and the handle of the launcher. "You're that desperate to end your life?"
Omi stepped past Kai, leaning dangerously over the stone railing, running his fingers across the water, making many ripples. He returned to his previous position, staring off into the distance. Kai, figuring the boy's movement was a 'yes' in a response, was annoyed with his silent movement, as he lowered his launcher and loosening his grip on his cord and handle.
"Answer me, what do you want, kid?" Kai's patience was obviously thinning out. [MK: Wait, wasn't it thinned out long ago when he first met Tyson and his obnoxious personality?]
Omi then leaned on the railing, propping his right elbow on it, resting his cheek on it as he watched Kai glaring at him. "Only to see that the Guardian of Fire is in position with fate of both worlds." He shifted his icy blue eyes back into the distance. "However, it seems that the Guardian of Fire is straying from its duty."
"What the heck are you babbling about?" Kai snapped, stuffing his Dranzer and launcher away. He glared one last time before stalking off the bridge.
His figure disappearing from the distance, the remaining boy regains his composure, watching the speck of Kai's body fade away. Omi's icy blue eyes showed hints of slight joy that rarely surfaced even at times of happiness.
"It has only begun, Guardian of Fire."
-:|KAI'S MANSION|:-
"WHAT?!"
"Hey, calm down" Tyson tried to calm the raging Russian boy down. "It's only one more, Kai!"
"THAT MEANS ANOTHER MOUTH TO FEED!"
"Raikou doesn't eat much! Kai no have to worry! Wait, Raikou can eat own food with Raikou's on money!" Raikou suggested. "Raikou only need place to stay until Raikou finds someone!"
"She does draw a good point there, Kai" Rei agreed.
Kai glared at his teammate plus the girl. He grumbled he stalked off to his room.
"I'll take that as a 'yes'!" Tyson called after.
"WHATEVER, SHE'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!"
"Not a problem!" Max grinned.
Kenny turned to face the comfortable Raikou on couch, flicking through channels while holding her beyblade. "And how are you gonna earn your money, Raikou?"
"Raikou found job at food store! They give discount to employers!" Raikou beamed. "Raiju says it's a decent job so Raikou accept!"
"Do you ALWAYS listen to your bit beast??" Tyson asked, plopping down next her.
"Raikou thinks so. Raiju always knows what's best for Raikou, yes, yes! Raiju is very wise and never steered Raikou wrong!"
*!*!*!*!*
